#16416, #20662A new parameter maxstringlength is added to the -Xtrace option to specify the length of the string arguments and return values that are printed in trace output.All versionsWhen you use the method tracing options, such as -Xtrace:methods={java/lang/String.concat'()'}, the argument is passed to the function as a string and the value is returned as a string. Earlier, you could not capture the contents of the string arguments and return values, only the address of the string object was printed. Now, both the actual strings as well as the addresses can be printed and with the new parameter, you can specify the length of the strings that are printed.

#15011The default stack size for the main thread is a smaller platform-dependent value.AllThe main thread stack size was 1 MB in releases before 0.32. In the 0.32 release and later it was modified to a smaller +platform-dependent value, the same value as the -Xmso setting. The 0.33 release increased the default -Xmso stack size +on x64 platforms, but builds with OpenJDK 17 and later also require more stack space to run. These changes might result in a +java.lang.StackOverflowError: operating system stack overflow.Use -Xmso to set the default stack size. See the default value by using -verbose:sizes.
#13767Compressed references mode is not available.Apple silicon macOSYou can use only the large heap (non-compressed references) mode.None
#14803Using the -XX:+ShowHiddenFrames option in an OpenJ9 release that is built with OpenJDK 18 and later causes errors.All platformsWrong exception might be thrown when using the Reflection API.Avoid using the -XX:+ShowHiddenFrames option with OpenJDK 18 and later.
